Decided August 13, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edwin Pate Bailey, Student Counsel (Barry Nakell, School of Law, University of North Carolina, on brief), for plaintiff-appellant.

Clifford Carson Marshall, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty. (Charles R. Brewer, U.S. Atty., on brief), for defendant-appellee.

Before WIDENER, PHILLIPS, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

We find no constitutional violation and affirm.

I.
